Naturally, the artistry of the landscape architect\u00a0and the finesse of the landscape maintenance team has a significant influence on the effect. But the success of that creative vision and expert care is dependent on how well the architect and garden management crew have mastered the concept of landscape layering.<\/p>\n<p>The principles of landscape layering are employed to create a detailed composition that is balanced overall and at the same time highlights individual elements and focal points.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the design process, a landscape architect must do three things based on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/landscape-site-planning-landscape-design\/\">site analysis:<\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>select plant varieties that will adapt to the terrain and prevailing weather conditions<\/li>\n<li>place plants where they will receive the amount of sunlight and moisture they require to thrive<\/li>\n<li>visualize the entire site in three dimensions and break it down into zones<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In this article, we are going to focus on that third item. We\u2019ll explain how the landscape architect organizes spatial elements in layers to capitalize on the effects of height, breadth, depth, nuance, and variety throughout the landscape. We\u2019ll show you how this layering effect results in a \u201cwow\u201d landscape that makes the best use of available garden space and establishes coherent thematic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/expand-your-living-space-with-outdoor-rooms\/\">relationships between different use areas in the landscape<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Landscape Layering and Plant Selection<\/h2>\n<p>Each type of plant plays a particular role in the landscape. Generally, landscaping plants fall into the following categories beginning with the tallest:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>tall specimen trees both evergreens and shade (deciduous) trees<\/li>\n<li>ornamental trees including flowering and fruit-bearing<\/li>\n<li>shrubs both evergreen, deciduous, and flowering types<\/li>\n<li>flowers, grasses, and sedges of varying height and breadth<\/li>\n<li>ground covers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Tall trees work for the background layer and borders of the landscape. Tall shrubs work well as a secondary layer around property borders as privacy screening and as a backdrop for the more intricate landscaping in the middle ground of the view. Low shrubs do well to fill the space in between and as foundation plantings. Grasses and flowers come next, with sedges and groundcovers filling areas near walkways, patios, steps, and under trees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5949\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5949\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5949 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"landscape layering in the front yard and bordering driveway\" width=\"1000\" height=\"520\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/520;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5949\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9Morgan Howarth Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Organizing Space on Multiple Planes<\/h3>\n<p>When designing a landscape and gardens, the landscape architect must organize the composition on two visual planes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>arranged by height on the vertical plane: from treetop to eye line to ground level, and<\/li>\n<li>arranged on the axis of proximity and distance: from foreground to mid to background<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This basic compositional technique of staging or staggering plant groupings is a critical element of landscape layering.<\/p>\n<p>The layering technique is what gives your landscape a consistent overall look and also highlights individual elements. Layering techniques include moderating elevations, grouping plants according to size, shape, color, texture and seasonal display.<\/p>\n<h3>Basic Landscape Layering Techniques<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5952\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5952\" style=\"width: 520px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5952 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/02-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"blending hardscape and ascending layers of landscaping\" width=\"520\" height=\"347\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 520px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 520\/347;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9Morgan Howarth Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Repetition<\/strong>. Repeating the placement of a particular type of plant throughout the landscape will draw the eye and lead you into and through the landscape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Scale<\/strong>. Size plants correctly to fill an area fully without crowding. Combine various sizes in groupings of plants so that individual plants support each other visually and make a statement together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Depth<\/strong>. Arrange plantings with the lowest ones in the foreground and taller plants staged from the middle to the background. Add raised beds and terracing from the middle to background.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Balance<\/strong>. Weave patterns throughout the landscape by combining plant shape, size, texture, leaf shape, and color to extend and balance the compositional themes. It\u2019s important to note here that evergreens and grasses come in many shades of green, so it is possible to get a lot of visual interest with greens alone.<\/p>\n<p>Surrounds horticulturist Tom Kniezewski says that modulating elevations by using raised or mounded planting beds is imperative for achieving a strong aesthetic effect in a landscape: \u201c If everything sits at the same level, you can\u2019t see and enjoy the variety of plantings because it all blends together.\u201d This is a mistake that is often made by amateur gardeners. Kniezewski notes, too, that raising planting beds serves a practical purpose because it facilitates drainage which protects the long term health of your plants.<\/p>\n<p>Does your landscaping feel a bit flat and one dimensional? <a href=\"https:\/\/info.surroundslandscaping.com\/schedule-your-garden-management-consultation-call\">Schedule a phone consultation with one of our garden management specialists<\/a> to talk about how we might bring your landscaping and gardens up to their full potential.\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"10712\" class=\"elementor elementor-10712\" data-elementor-settings=\"{&quot;ha_cmc_init_switcher&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6f2406 cta e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c6f2406\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f339df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3f339df\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f7b478 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3f7b478\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5143fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d5143fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Begin your project with a dream and a plan!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4dfc09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a4dfc09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You are at the threshold of an exciting journey.
